Bad things come in threes? Apparently today for the Lakers. With news that Dwight Howard will be out at least a week with a torn labrum (to be re-evaluated), and Pau Gasol to miss at least team games with a concussion (also to be re-evaluated), Jordan Hill will join his other front court mates with an injury. Lakers.com's Mike Trudell reports that Hill will not make the road trip with a hip injury.

So, that's that. For the next few games no Dwight, no Pau, and no Jordan. In related news, Robert Sacre has been called back from the D-League. With all of this terrible news hitting at the same time, one can only hope he's ready to dance like he's never danced before.
